Terahertz Optoelectronics and Beyond
At the end of August, FTMC will be visited by a renowned Taiwanese scientist Shang-Hua Yang who leads advanced research in the fields of terahertz technology, nanophotonics, and communications. His findings contribute to new methods in biomedical imaging, material characterization, and the development of 6G communications.
Date and time: 2025.08.26, 11:00
Venue: Hall D401, Saulėtekio al. 3, Vilnius
Speaker: Shang-Hua Yang, Associate Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan
The topic: Terahertz Optoelectronics and Beyond
„Terahertz technology has attracted significant interest due to its unique applications in environmental monitoring, space exploration, chemical identification, security screening, medical imaging, and biological sensing. However, the practical deployment of many terahertz systems remains constrained by the relatively low power, low efficiency, and bulky nature of current terahertz sources.
In this talk, I will present our recent advancements in developing high-performance terahertz sources that address these challenges. By integrating plasmonic contact electrodes, we have achieved high-performance terahertz optoelectronics, setting new records in optical-to-terahertz conversion efficiencies and attaining power levels of several milliwatts.
Additionally, I will discuss our strategies for scalable production, which promise to unlock the immense potential of terahertz technology for non-invasive imaging, industrial inspection, and next-generation wireless communication,“ says Prof. Yang.
